Orwell 2+2=5

George Orwell was one of the most visionary authors of the 20th Century, whose novels 1984 and Animal Farm foretold a chilling, all-to-believable authoritarian future. In this new documentary, director Raoul Peck (I Am Not Your Negro),  in collaboration with the Orwell estate, seamlessly interweaves historical clips, readings from Orwell's diary, cinematic references, and dynamic modern day footage to craft not only a definitive portrait of the writer himself, but a fresh take on how remarkably relevant his work has become. 

Drawing patterns and connections we might not otherwise realise, Peck champions Orwell as a man from the past who just might hold the key to the world's future.
